Many thanks John
will send shortly - I'm not in the MU - and will have to think about the legal thing -
something else I just discovered is that from 1978 there is a 35 year copyright reversion for writers regardless of contracts - ( in the US at least - not sure if it applies to UK) - so the first wave will be next year - but guess what - my contracts are '76 and '77 - dohhhh!! - although there is some sort of renewal thing after 28 years apparently
And yes I will contact PRS and see what they say
many thanks again
Mick
